Dior iPod case

Posted by Hemos on from the consumerables dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes "How cool is the iPod? Cool enough that Christian Dior is selling an iPod case. It was designed by Dior Homme's Hedi Slimane, because he didn't know where to store his own iPod. It's black leather."

    Not only can I get ripped off for an iPod, I can get ripped off of for a designer carrying case for it too! Such amazing innovation. Im not normally someone to complain, but this definately does not belong on slashdot. If I wanted to read about tech fashion accessories that are overpriced, I'd read Wired.

    I predict the emminent collapse of Christian Dior as a harbinger of fashion. Call it a hunch. Those living in the past cannot plan for the future.

    All kidding aside, the way Apple products look elegant is matched by the way Apple's hardware and software elegance - sleek, smooth and functional. I'm not surprised those with an eye to elegance are moving to Apple's latest offerings.

    Well, this will certainly fix those people who think that Apple equipment is for dilletantes and rich yuppies.

    Er, maybe not.

    Well la-dee-freakin' da.

    There's no way you're a "geek" -- a geek would have spent that $1500-2000 on extra CPUs, GBs of RAM and TBs of hard drive space.

  5. You just don't know where to put it... by Binky+The+Oracle · · Score: 2, Funny

    "I love my iPod, but you just don't know where to put it," he said. "So I had no other choice than designing the case."

    This is funny enough that I don't feel I really need to make a comment. I will say, however, that I really like the Pod Protector I bought from Other World Computing (OWC).

    Fits like a glove, has a nice swivel belt clip, and it's only $30. It's no fashion accessory, but then I'm normally using my iPod at the gym and shiny black designer leather doesn't go so well with a profusely sweating, rich, yuppie elitist.

    Oh wait... maybe it does.
